CAA Also Refutes
JetXtra’s Misleading Claims

Over the
weekend JetXtra published an article on its website that falsely blamed Jet2.com
for the Civil Aviation Authority’s decision to halt its ticket sales, something
the CAA has today also confirmed as “entirely
untrue”. The CAA verified that it was acting to stop the sale of any
further seats, as JetXtra isn’t licensed to sell airline seats or holidays and
therefore its decision had nothing to do with Jet2.com and was
made solely to protect consumers.

Steve
Lee, Commercial Director at Jet2.com, said: "For JetXtra to claim
that Jet2.com was responsible in any way for the cessation of
ticket sales is completely untrue and totally misleading. We had
communicated with JetXtra in private over legal concerns. For the managing
director to use this correspondence erroneously and publically is amateurish
and damaging and a clear example of why we do not want any confusion amongst
consumers between JetXtra and Jet2.com. As an ATOL
protected leisure company, Jet2.com adheres to the highest levels
of professionalism within all areas of our business. We are
understandably keen to protect the good reputation of Jet2.com
and Jet2holidays, something we have worked long and hard to
build."
